Not saying it wouldn't still do well, but Tiger King released at the absolute perfect time: March 2020. A time where everyone was bored, maybe scared, and in need of an escape that was simultaneously too ridiculous to be reality while at the same rule too unbelievable to have been made up.

Side note, the guy who made Tiger King made another docuseries cake Chimp Crazy that I find is even better.

In this same vein, I've never had a from-scratch brownie that I like better than the box brownies.

I genuinely thought this was going to end with like "and then shove it up your ass!" or something

Language for sounds doesnt work like that though. If I hear a pop song and say "dang that's a great snare" it isn't wrong if technically the sound is actually a synthesized snare. When you hear something you can name it without it having to be physically present. Plus plenty of things ring without being a bell.

Look, I'm not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it's the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he's better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?

Unpopular opinion, I actually really like the third one

The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I'm not saying don't have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren't typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.

Ohhhh for some reason my mind went to him trying to tutor other dudes to help them with women. Was very confused.

World War Z, the book not the basically unrelated movie, is definitely the best imo. As a bonus the audiobook has a full cast of narrators including Mark Hamil and Common.

I know a lot of people won't believe it happens, because the simpler and more mundane explanation (which is usually the true one) is that it isn't necessary because of all the data that we know is being collected like browsing habits, searches, etc but my partner has a few times tried to test this as a party trick. Normally her ads are for like kitcschy knick-knacks or like funky flower pots but one time we were hanging with friends talking about this discussion and we decided to all repeat out loud "lab grown diamond engagement rings" for about 15 min. Not 1 hour later she had an Instagram ad that said word for word "lab grown diamond engagement rings." I know it's anecdotal and isn't proof but we've done this a few times and it's seemed to work about half the time; each time we get an ad that's both hyper specific to what we're taking about and also not something close to anything we've been advertised before.
